person' Intelligencer. AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. Work for the Month. Break up th-e kind *ior corn and cotton very deep and close, using tho subsoil plow after the scooter Or turning plow, so as to stir it down to its very founda? tion. Under tho top soil, just below where the plow ordinarily reaches is, in many instances, and indeed generally, a stitF impenetrable, "hard pan," which prevents the water from descending further, and circumscribes tho pasture for the roots of plants. This can: be broken tt;> now while softendd by the winter ruins; yet, on no'account must you bring it to tho surface, but see that it is tlior 0 ighly broken up beneath. '?Jieeolloct," says Chambers, '-how your plow the last year draped through the few inches of broken earth, lying loose and dry as a bed of ashes upon the surface, while the point of the plow scraped as on a pave? ment, over the hard earth beneath.? Parched by .the hot, burning rays of the Bun abovo, with no open pores from be? neath, inviting or permitting moisture, tho little rootlets searched in vain for nourishment or supplies?the plant with? ered the fruit perished, and all is laid to the drought. Now is the lime, by prop? er depth of culture, while the ground is softened, to prevent these consequences of defective breaking up in tho prepara? tion of your soil. Alrstubblo lands, and those which have been thrown out to rest, should have been already broken up, that their veg? etable matter may be decomposed, and the clods and hard lumps pulverized b}* the action of the winter and spring frosts. Still lands cannot be mado mellow and friable, except by tillage during the au? tumn and winter. Neither can proper depth be obtained, except by plowing and subsoiling in wintcrand earl}' spring. Spring Oats may now be sown?no matter how soon. Try tho new Bruns? bek variety. Beep preparation of tho soil, which is almost always neglected in the case of this crop, is as useful to it as any other, and would prevent half the failures which now occur when the spring is dry. It is much better to sow the winter oat in the fall, as it is rarely kill? ed by the severity of the season, and tho product is much more sure as it is mature before the drought. A little Pacific or other Guano or good Superphosphate will increase the yield. Put in largely, as they come early, and will save buying corn. If Parsnips and Carrots are to be grown for stock, this is the proper time of sow? ing. Sown later than the early part of March, the crop will be of no account.? "We think Sweet potatoes and Turnips more profitable. Sow Lucern the latter part of the month. Make the grouud deep and fine, .enrich it thoroughly, throw it up to low beds, twenty inches asunder, on which plant your seed, covering shallow, about naif an inch, with fine soil. It will do to cut once or twice this season, and five or six times tho next year. This is a good crop. Wheat fields in good condition, can still bo sown with Clover. The only difficulty is, that crab grass is more iroublesome than if the clover was fall sown; and it is not so secure against the sun. Fob ?ruaxy sown clover did finely last J'ear, notwithstanding the drought. Tobacco Seeds should bo sown. The old, expensive process of burning, the American Farmer tells us, is generally "dispensed with, unless tho necessary burning material is abundant and near at hand. Guano (tho best Peruvian) is used at tho rate of 600 to 1000 pounds per acre, and tho preparation of the ground is made as thoroughly as possible with? out burning. It is chopped in mainly during the hoeing of the ground?a light dressing being sown in immediate con? nection with tho soed. Where brush is used for burning, it should havo been cut early and got together, to avoid delay, when the ground comes in order. If gu? ano be not used, a good compost of stable and other manures, well-rotted, and free from grass-seed, should be chopped in at seeding timo." Corn planting commences this month in the climate ot lower Georgia, and when early planted, makes almost invariably the best crop. If you are buying corn, better send a few dollars to any of the Northern Scednien advertising with us for a little King Philip or other best early field corn. ? It will cost you three or five dollars per bushel. Plant early, on rich land; the stalks in the rows about fifteen inches apart. You will have roasting ears and ripe corn before you know it.? Plant of this only enough for summer use. Do not let a mania lor cotton plant? ing make a fool of you again, and pre ?vent putting in a bountifr.l crop of corn. Corn has no tax on it. The tax on cot? ton is so onerous that were a full crop and low prices to come again, its payment would ruin the already crippled planter. Injurious also to the freedmen, in depress? ing his wages, it is not at all likely his radical friends will repeal it. It becomes us then, to cultivate more largely the un taxed crops. Moreover, no man is safe with freedmon's labor, in devoting near : half as much ground to cotton as ho for? merly did with tho same nominal force; ' for if he does he will have to throw it out, or not half tend it as was the ease last year. It would yield more profit where near railroads, to plant even less, and spend tho money in making and purchas? ing manures, both for cotton and corn. "When you cannot manure, throw out all your poor, worn out lands, and use only tho best. A halt cropot cotton will bring in more money than a full one, and try to plant a full crop of cotton this year, ? would-compel tho purchase of all our food another year. The facilities ana rates of transportation will not begin to justify this. Plant, then, plenty of corn, and plant early and on deeply prepared ground, so as to prevent, by the early maturing of tho crop, and by full supply of.moisture in the soil during the periods of growth, the casualties to which it is subject, under other conditions, in our summer droughts.?Southern Cultivator. -+-.-r ? A Wisconsin euitor, in ;.cknowledg ing receipt of an oxchange paper printed on new type, says it "looks as clean as a . Gc?oolmftrm i? a bathing tub.'* j The New Question. . Our contemporaries have had much to say upon the the labor question, aud we beg to add a few words. Has freed men's labor failed us? On this point, the answers are as various as the respondents. Few men, knowing the nature of the African so well as our plan? ters generally ought, considorod in ad vance the effect that freedom would liavo upon men so long constrained to labor, despite there inherent inuolence. But children in intellect, constrained labor was as irksome to them, as long confine? ment to schoolboys, and liberty, in their dictionary, meant no more than license. This was to have been considered, and is now not to be lost sight of in any honest estimate of the case. Besides, the season has been most disastrous. The heavens have seemed to frown down upon us, even while our cup of defeat and humiliation, of impoverishment and uncertainty, was overflowing. Flooded valleys, scorched hills, or devastating insects, have hero or there, thwarted tho most energetic and hopeful, aud these added calamities' lend a sombre tinge to the views of'all our peo? ple, from the Carolinas to the liio Grande. Again: the variousness of answer to this question is to be found somewhat, albeit we will not say always, in the way the freedmen have been managed. Those planters who most thoroughly realized their condition at the outset, and who have most sensibly and philosophically ac? commodated themselves to their changed circumstances, have best succeeded. When the crop has passed from the hands of producers, we shall have some reliable data upon which to found an opinion as to the measure of success that has crowned the efforts of planters. The number of bales produced will enable the statistician to make an approximate esti? mate of acres planted and cost of produc? tion. Aside from this, let us also consid? er what might have been the result, in the absence of floods, droughts, and all the Pandora ills that seem to follow war. And hear let us ask our friends if, in view of the gloomy retrospect they take of the year, they are not making unwar? ranted calculations for tho future. We think they are. Without the compulsion of stiingent vagrant laws?without me? ting out the exactestjuslice to the labor? er, as well as exacting it?we cannot con? ceive it more than probable, in tho naturo of things that the freed men will be more than self-supporting. The history of the race in tho British West Indies will be their history. A small per ccntage of them will work fairly ; the mass will labor as their necessities impel; but the aver? age result will be of little avail in restor? ing king cotton to his former prestige.? It is due to the freedmen from our peo? ple, however, not only on the score of past relations, but from wisest societary and financial views, to do all they can to en? courage him in tho pursuit of the rewards of labor. His natural position is in our climate?his social instincts bind him here ?and wc shall do wisely in proving to him that slavery is but the transition state through which all people pass from barbarism to a progressive civilization.? We say this in view of the repeated dec? larations of many planters, to import white laborers from the North and from Europe. All the laborers whose labor is worth having, perfectly understand our situation. A few weeks ago, about 30U Germans landed in New Orleans. Why can we no longer keep those laborers among us ?? asked a city contemporary. The hum? blest man among them would have told him that the existence of slavery hereto? fore in the South, has repelled free labor; that they havo hence no friends in the South.jbut.mtiny in wostern/Tcx..Missouri, &c. Besides, they generally fear the pro-" cess of acclimation. It is useless for our planters to turn to German}*. No coun? try in Europe has a peasantry so sturdily fond of social independence. They clan ise. but they- will not labor in gangs?not even in the west; ceartinly not in cotton fields. While this is true ot the Gorman traditionally attached to his soil, there is a large class of immigrants from that country, of Hebraic descent, who have the keenest instincts of trade, of any peo? ple upon oarlh. Come they to this coun? try never so poor, they will soon own a peasant stand or a pedlar's pack and then they quickly possess a corner grocery or a three story front. Alike industrious, frugal and temperate, were cither class to work two years on a plantation, they would bo ??ir.itcj-apt" to own it?especial? ly if its owner curried it on in tho flush style of good old time. No, the remedy is not immigration of la? horers, but of land buyers. Not in carry? ing on large plantations, but small farms, till the result of compact, thrifty husband? ry induces liberal offers for the fallow land. Where extensive planting is desirable, in? troduce gang-plows, cornplanters, wheat drills, cotton cultivators, headers?every? thing that takes the place of the'mere la? bor drudge. So extensive is the use of agricultural machinery in the northwest, that the four States of Ohio, Indiana, Illi? nois and Iowa kept a half a million of her young men in tho field, during the late war, and yet constantly increased their crops. Let the South take the example, and substitute the same powerful element of prosperity for the effete one of slavery. Such machinery takes the dull edge of drudgery from farm operations, and would be a powerful incentive to our young men, to adopt the sure profits of the farm for the precarious income of commerce or the professions. Our young men have return? ed from the field of war with honor?they are wanted now in another field. Let them exhibit the same exemplary patience under direction, the same endurance be? tween the plow-handles as on the march, the same eagerness to gather the yellow corn that they did to crop the laurel, and they will not only win wealth, but the name of good citizens. Let the old set a good example, and all unite to Signify la? bor by putting a hand to the plow, and laziness and vice will be shunned as crimes. In 1S50, the census showed the average value of lree State lands to be over $12 per acre, to only $5 for our own soil.? This was not caused by difference of qual? ity, but by sparseuess of population.? Don't jeopardize all by cultivating too much; take what ot your land you are sure of cultivating well, and leave the rest tallow. Ere long immigration must begin to pour southward, and the average value of land will rise inevitably. To recapitu? late. . Don't rely too much on foreign orfreed men's labor" Get as much that is reliable as possible?"piece out" with agricultural machinery. Plant no more than you are morally sure of managing well. Let the rest of your lands lie fallow till they rise to something near their real value.? Shreveport Southwestern. Planting?Sound Advice.?A Missis? sippi planter gives the following advice: There is danger that our own misguid? ed policy may do us more injury than any mere political movement. Since our cotton is heavily taxed, ought wo not to raise that which is not taxed? As I have said before, the bestand wisest protection which we can have against the high tariffs and high taxes on our cotton, is to manufacture the cotton which we raise, and I might add, to produce the food which we consume. It we escape general confiscation, then theie is danger that the policy we have been pursuing (and I fear will continue to pursue) will produce general starvation. I think it very probable that Mississippi is in a worse condition to day, so far as the necessities of life are concerned, than sho was on the day of tho surrender. It is all owing, I think to our attempt to raise too much cotton, in which we liavc failed signally, and change of policy can only save us?raise our supplies and let cotton be the surplus. It requires much contin? uous labor during the year, and is subject to so many casualties, it is not safo to rely on it as the sole means of providing our selves with the necessaries and comforts of life. The tax on cotton, an Alabama paper says, is equivalent to a rental of, on aver? age, about seven dollars and fifty cents an acre upon all the land planted in cotton. If this should have the effect of divert? ing the attention ot planters from cotton to tho production of corn and meat, the South may yet bo benefited, at tho ex? pense of New England manufacturers and North western farmers. It would bo well if the freedmen could sec that their radical friends (?) arc tax? ing their labor rather heavily. - Don't Cultivate Ordinary Land Without Manure.?Recollect, it costs you on our average soils, ten dollars or more, to mako an acre cf corn with hired labor, and fifteen or more to make and gather an acre of cotton. If you do not look closely after your hands, it will cost you a good deal more than that. Now, every acre cultivated, that will not yield crops worth at least tho above amounts, will not only be no profit, but run }'0u into debt. Larger crops still, required, to obtain a profit on hired labor. Lands, then, which will not yield such crops, we must let rest, or manure them sufficiently or wo lose mcney. At least half of out poorest soils, hitherto devoted to corn and cotton, should be thrown out to rest and tho balance enriched. How long will it take us to exhaust what little capital we havo left, if for every acre on which we can make a net profit of ten dollars we continue to cultvivate five, which lack from three to ten dollars each of meeting the actual cost of cultivation. There are few lands which will not }*icld a profit, if commercial manures are judici? ously applied. -? Kindness to Negroes.?We like to sec kindness to worthy negroes, and we en? courage it on all occasions; wo even like to see a Forncr master take a faithful old servant by the hand and givo it a kindly shake; but there is a certain unmistaka? ble familiarity often exhibited, now a-day that is supremely disgusting, and we can feel no respect for a man or woman who can exhibit it. This disgusting familiarity is generally affected by persons who have, in former times, been cruel and inhuman to slaves, and who now, from motives of policy, would pander lo their worst passions. This is all wrorg, and cannot but result in evil consequences. The negro will never respect those who do not respect themselves, and now that we have so little left us beyond our own self-respect, if we once give that up, wo shall sink ourselves and our country to a state of depravity in which our children's children will grovel through ages of darkness and misery. - The Negro Exodus to Texas.?The Galveston Civilian has the following par? agraph in reference to negro emigration to t hat State : The Georgia papers stato that the ne? groes of Georgia arc making a perfect exodus towards the broad plains of Texas. Manj- plantations which last }'ear employ? ed the frecdman by scores, now have not one left. The West Point Observer ven? tures the prediction that in less than a twelve-month there will be a general rush to get back to their old homes, basing its vaticination on tho fact that many are already "returning and express them? selves perfectly satisfied with the glimpse they havo had of the elephant." We wish them many happy retunrs. We would rather see one sober, industrious wliite men come to Texas than forty thousand freedman. Pay Your Wat.?A serious objection we have to being territorialized is, that it will force the United States to pay the annihilated States to offer to pay the debts of Alabama. Is there a man in Alabama who would quiotly permit an? other man to pay his debts ? If any man has the boldness to attempt to pay our debts, let him show the cash, and he will very soon find out what wo think of his proposal. The United States had bet? ter pay her own debts, before she makes an insulting proposition to Alabama. Our debts are all we have left, and now they propose to deprive us of them Shall we stand tamely by and seo the last vestige of our ancient rights swept from us ? We answer, with indignant emphasis, we will stand it!?Sei ma Times. ? Success produces confidence, confi? dence relaxes industry, and negligence ruins that reputation which accuracy had raised. ? Teeth are stopped with gold; and tongues may besolikewiso. A man with a rich wife is often silonced by her throw? ing her money in his teeth. ? A chap who was told by a colpor? teur to "remember Lot's wife," replied that he had been in trouble enough al rtady about other men's wive?. Woman.?As tho dovo will clap its wings to its sides and cover' and conceal the arrow that is preying on its vitals, so it is the nature of woman to hide from the world the pangs of wounded affection. With her, the desire of the heart has fail? ed. She neglects all the cheerful exer? cises that gladden the spirits, quicken the pulse, nnd send the" tide of life in healthful currents through the veins. Her rest is broken, the sweet refreshment of sleep is poisoned by melancholy dreams ; dry sorrow drinks htr blood, until her feeble frame sinks under the last oxtcrnal assailant. Look for her after, a while, and you find friendshep weeping over her untimely grave, and wandering that one who but lately glowed with all the radiance of health and beauty should now be brought down to darkness and the worm. You will be told of some wintry chill, some slight indisposition, that laid her low, but no one knows the mental malady that previously sappod her strength, and made her so easy a prey to the spoiler. -?> Live for Good.?Thousands of men breathe, move and live?pass off the stage of life and are heard of no more. Why ? They did not a particle of good in the world ; and none were blessed by them as instruments of their redemption j not a word they spoke could be recalled, and so the}'perished, their light went cut in darkness, and they were not remembered more than the insects of yesterday. Will you thus live and die, 0, man immortal ? Live for something ! Do good, and leave behind you a monument of virtue that time can never destroy. Write your name in kindness, love and mercy on the hearts of thousands you come in contact with yearly year, and you will never be for? gotten. No; your name, your deeds, will be as legible on the hearts you leave be? hind, as'the stars on the brow of the eve? ning. Good deeds will shine as brightly on tho earth as the stars of heaven. ? An artist painted a dog so natural that the animal had tho hydrophobia during the hot weather. He's tho samo man, says the Herald, who painted a copy of a beer bottle with such skill that the cork flew out just as he was finishing it. And after he was married, ho painted a picture of his first baby so life-like that it cried, aud his wifo spanked it before she discovered her mistake. ? "My dear boy," said a }'Oung lad}' to a precious youth of eighteen, "does your father design that you should tread the thorncy and intricate path of a pro? fession, the straight and narrow way of the ministry, or revel in theflowery fields of literary fields of literature?" "No inarm ; dad says he's gwinc to set me to work in the tatcr patch." ? The following is the conclusion of an epitaph on a tombstone in East Ten? nessee: "She lived a lite ot virtue, and died of the cholera morbus, caused by eating green fruit, in tho full hope of a blessed immortality, at the early age of twenty-four years, seven months and six? teen days. Header, go thou and do like? wise." ? Vanity, like laudanum, and other poisonous medicines, is beneficial in small, though injurious in large quantities. No man, who is not pleased with himself, can please others, for it is the belief of his own grace that makes him graceful and gracious. ? Wc have heard of many things on which topers manage to get drunk, but of nothing so strange as that in the case of James Quigley, who, as reported, wan convicted of having got drunk on the testimony of two policemen. ? A lady out with her liltlc girl and boy. bought him a rubber balloon, which escaped him, and flew up in the air. The girl, seeing the tears in his eyes, said. "Never mind, Neddy; when you die and do to heaven, you'll dit it." ? Gent.?"Well, Bridget, how much longer have wc to wait for breakfast?" Bridget.?"Ye see, you told me to boil tho eggs very soft an' sure they've been billin' for over an hour, and they are as hard as Iver, sor!" ? "Paddy," said a joker, "Why don't 3'ou get your ears cropped?they arc en? tirely too long for a man !" "And yours," replied Pat, "ought to be lengthened?they aro too short for an ass." ? Ono of our exchanges thinks Mexi? co would bo better off if Napoleon and Seward were both in Paradise. To this another replies: "Yes; but how would the citizens of Paradise like it?" ? A worthy man, when told that he was about to die, said he was "glad of it; he was tired of putting his shoes and stock? ings on and off." And this is about what life gets reduced to at seventy. ? "It's a bad rule that don't work both ways," as the boy said when ho throw back the rulo which his teacher flung at him. ? The lady whoso dress was too dirty to wear, and not dirty enough to be washed, had a matter of serious import to decide. ? "Toby, what did the Israelites do when they crossed the Red Sea ?" "I dunno, but I gucth they dried themselves." ? If Colt'spistols have six barrels, how many barrels ought a horse-pistol to have? ?.Caution to tho ladies. A silk dress should never be satin. c. f.
